Currently, the Apparmor profile only applies to /usr/lib/thunderbird/thunderbird so if you change the wrapper script to call the "-bin" version, it would side step Apparmor. Maybe side stepping Apparmor is what made the "-bin" version work? That's a wild guess (I don't run Debian) but if that's the case, it would be better to fix the Apparmor profile. An easy way to check if Apparmor gets in the way would be to start thunderbird (no "-bin") and then run: dmesg -T | grep 'apparmor="DENIED"' If anything comes up please attach it in here.
